Journey to Pirate Village

Tyler POV

I understand everything now. I live in a piracy and naval world. My father was the Pirate King. I ate a Devil Fruit.

I have to find my father's treasure. I'll deal with Saw later. I go into the house, grab some bellies, board the dinghy, and sail towards the first island I see towards the horizon.

Tyler POV

I step out of the dinghy, which is at the dock of the mysterious island. Could this be the Pirate Village? I walk toward the town square, and in the distance, I see a huge, black castle. I ask a local,"What is this place? And who does the castle belong to?"

Then he says, "This is Black Village, and that is the castle of the royal Black family. The queen died in a certain war, and the king is particularly feeble. The only heir is their daughter, since their son has gone into piracy."

I thank him for the information. Then my stomach rumbles. Ah, I haven't eaten yet. Then I see a restaurant nearby named 'Jintao's Joint for Dining'.

I walk into the restaurant and saw some people eating noodles, rice, and more. A short man with a grubby face and beard walks up to me, saying, "Welcome to Jintao's Joint for Dining. We serve lunch and dinner here."

"Uh, I'd like to order a bowl of noodles, please," I say. He then walks into the kitchen. This might take long. I peek in the kitchen and see about seven chefs working.

Then I see him. A bald chef in a suit, whipping up some noodles. He cooks with such elegance and grace. He might be the first member of my crew. The cook.

Jintao walks toward me, saying, "You'll get your meal soon, sonny." Then I say, "Can I have a word with the chef over there, with the suit?"

Jintao then calls, "KHAN CHI! SOMEONE WANTS TO SEE YOU!" Khan Chi then walks over to me, then I whisper, "Can we talk privately?" He agrees.

"Hi, I am Tyler. So look, I wanna tell you something. I want to create a pirate crew, and I want you to be my cook, okay?" Khan Chi replies, saying, "I'm all about that, but what about Jintao?"

"Let's just leave; he'll get over it." I also tell him about everything that happened, and he says he knows where it is. So we run toward the dock and buy a sloop (a boat which travels up to 1000M) and get into it and sail toward Pirate Village.

Khan Chi POV

As we leave, I tell Tyler my backstory. He listens and says I could my life better if I become a pirate, a good pirate. He also tells me about his father and why he's creating his crew.

Anyway, we reach the Pirate Village. The moment I see the island, I remember I can't fight. "Wait Tyler", I say, "I can't fight!" He purses his lips, deep in thought. Then he demands, "Surely you can fight using basic combat?"

I shake my head. "I always wanted to fight, but not with my hands. I am great at cooking, so I don't want to damage my hands in battle."

Tyler nods reluctantly. He says, "I see. Well, I might have to handle Bobby on my own." We get off the boat. I see vendors all around. I also see a man selling a couple of swords.

Just then, a store implodes and pirates in red uniform, and holding cutlasses come out. Tyler snarls, "Looks like we have our first toys in Bobby's crew."

Tyler POV

If I'm going to fight Bobby and his crew, I need to generate my Devil Fruit moves. I close my eyes and think: characteristics and properties of a leopard. Then I hear a sound like a gunshot in the distance. 'That's it! A gun barrage move.'

Then I channel my Fruit essence, and I feel a surge of power in my core. I'll call it 'Finger Revolver '. Then I tell Khan Chi to stay behind me.

I walk up to the Pirates and yell, "HEY! PIRATES! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL! IF I WIN, YOU TAKE ME TO BOBBY. IF NOT, YOU SACRIFICE US!"

The pirates sneered,"You? Challenge US? See Cap'n Bobby?! If you say so!"

They charged towards me, and I stood my ground ready to give them a good beating.
